women presented. The country
cousin wore the tight gown with its
i'll fitting waist around its shoulders
and frilled sleeves and arms. which
prevailed in the East some years ago.
Her boots we're so much too
small for her that her feet bulged
out at the sides and back in an
absurd fashion and she walked
principally upon her toes, the same
being the result of the abnormally
high Freoch heels. Her arms we're
held akimbo. her body bent slightly
forward and her large and Ingenious
face beamed with a placid and ami
able expression. Beside her walked
the same type of girl metamorphosed
by two years residence in Wash
ingtou. Her dress fitted like glove
to tho waist, and the cloth and
beaded collar was 80 fixed that it
held her chin high in the air. Her
shoulders we're drawn back like
drum major, and the sleeves Of her
gown were pulled to grotesque size
between the shoulder and elbow.

that he was travelling on the road

New York correspondent of the
Boston Gazette. Who is your

apologetically: I'VE have no regular
prima donna, but we have q whist
ling lady" Upon inquiry | found
that a lady travelled with the com
pany who had a gilt for Whisthng,
and who came upon the stage and
whistled to his accompaniment to
the no small delight of the audience.
l never heard her, but he said it was
really an interesting performance. l
suppose the accounts Of this whist
ling lady in the newspapers has ex-
cited the interest of others, for there
is now in New York lady who
whistles at private entertainments,
but for a consideration. She gets
$50 night for Whistling in New
York drawing rooms, and she is said
to have all the engagements she
wants. The husband Of this lady was
well off at one time, but he lost
his money. Whistling was her great
accomplishment, and when she heard
that this gift had been turned to pc
cuniary account, she saw no reason
why she should not aid her husband
by her gifts in this line, and she hal
succeeded beyond her expectations

This is the money value per acre
of each crop.
But even if the provisions are not
grown here they can be brought from
Kansas City and the northwest very
cheaply. There is then no reason
why Memphis should not be a
great manufacturing city, Land
can be purchased for the
erection of factories or for furnish
ing homes to the operatives on very
favorable terms. The more factories
that are established the more sue
cessful each will be. They will at
tract labor and will command custom
that a few factories would not bring.
If we had twenty cotton factories,
twenty foundries and furniture man
ufactories, that would cause labor to
come here more than it now does,
and would induce purchasers to come
here to buy the manufactured articles.
Instead of Memphis having to send off
to buy these things for resale, orders
would be coming TO Memphis factors
from every direction. Manufactur-
ing establishments flourish most in
the neighborhood of each other. The
great advantage which Memphis en-
joys as a manufacturing center is
that the articles, when manufactured,
find here a ready sale and can be dis
tributed in every direction. At pres
ent Memphis gets much of her furni-
ture, her cotton and wooden goods,
her raw fabrics of every description,
from distance, and here dis
tributes them by resale in every
direction. By manufacturing them
here the cost of transportation in
both directions would be saved
that is, the cost OF transporting the
new material to Northern and East
ern manufactures, and the cost of
transporting the manufactured arti-
Giles to Memphis. This is a most i'm
portant consideration, and should re-
ceive careful attention.
1t appears that S5,000,000 Of
merchandise is sold in Memphis
every year, Much of this Is brought
from manufacturing establishments
at distance.
Suppose slOO,OOO,OOO of it should
be manufactured in Memphis
What a change would be wrought,
and what an immense saving would
be made. In 1885 the value of the
manufactured products of Memphis
was twice as great as the capital in
vested in manufacturing. Such is
now doubtless the case. Fifty mil
lions of dollars invested in manufaCt-
uring would produce $4,000, 600 Of
manufactured products, and would
give employment to tens of thous-
ands of operatives. Every fact
points to Memphis as a great manu-
featuring center, and every induce
meut is here offered for the erection
of factories of every description, cot
ton, wooden, wooden and iron.

MANUFACTURERS NiNIEb
TO MIKE MEMPHIS A GREAT
METROPOLIS.
Mer, Women and Children Needed

Ts the Editor Of the Appeal:

Ts the Editor of the Appeal:
In order that any place may be-
come successful in manufacturing
certain things are necessary. The
material to be msnufactured-or as
it is generally called, the raw mate
rial-should be cheap, abundant aud
easily obtained. The labor to work
up this material should also be easily
obtained. Lands to furnish homes
for the operatives should be within
reach at fair prices. Provisions to
feed the operatives should also be
within reach at fair prices. When
ever the articles are manufactured
they should be at or near a distrib-
uting center, where they can easily
be carried 10 every direction. Mem
phis possesses every one Of these re-
quisites to the fullest extent. The
material to be used in manufactur-
ing-that is, the raw materials
abundant and cheap. Iron and coal
can be obtained from the Alabama
mines and furnaces very cheaply,
coal at less than 81 so per ton aud
pig iron So or Sc cheaper than in
Pennsylvania. This is great item.
Lumber of any and every description,
can be had by river or rail from
Mississippi, Arkansas, Tennessee
and Alabama. Lumber is taken
from this very region and carried to
Chicago and Cincinnati to be made
into wagons, carriages and furniture,
into doors, sash and blinds, when il
could be worked up in Memphis and
the transportation both ways saved.
This country is capable of furnish
ing an inexhaustible supply OF
breadstuffs and provisions generally,
and will do so as the bottoms are
opened aud the growth of cotton in
them increases, and the uplands are
given up to the growth of the
cereals and of live stock. AS
an evidence of this, it may
be stated that in Arkansas, with
in a short distance. of Memphis
there has been a very rapid in
crease in the growth of the cereals
and of live stock. The corn crop
and the oat crop increased 400 pei
cent. in thirty years. The following
taken from the United States agri.
cultural report, shows what Arkan-
sas is doing:

last summer, who was quite the rage,
and who had the honor Of whistling
before Her Majesty, but 1 did not
think much Of her accomplishment.
/ can whistle better than she can my
self. / have heard whistling that was
beautiful. When l lived on Eight
eenth street l could look down into
a beer saloon from my back windows,
and in that beer saloon there would
occasionally come a man who whist
tied, and anything more beautiful of
its kind never heard. He could do
anything that flute could do. The
lady whistler in London had no such
accomplishment. According TO my
judgment she was a pretty poor
whistler, but she got good deal of
praise over there, and, as | said, Her
Majesty's Endorsement. She was not
a professional, however; she simply
Whistled to amuse her friends.

She was the exact counterpart IN

1t struck me at the time that it
must have taken high pressure to
develop this worldly wise and know
it all young woman to her present
state of absolute muturity in two
years. From the raw and "booky'
daughter of an obscure local polid-
clan she had become an absolute
mistress OF the numberless tads of
the world at large and grown weary
of social pleasure in two years. The
cultivation had been too rapid and
too fierce.

about Washington society, The envy

But an ominOus indication OF the
way things are running is found in
the craze that has set in among So
ciety people in other cities for reg
ular midwinter season in Washing

society are the most enthusiastic ad-
mirers of Washington. Men OF posi-

an Importapt Map of the stars.

Paris dispatch to the London
Daily Telegraph. The map OF the
heavens, which the International As
trouOmers, now assembled at the
Paris Observatory, are taking steps
to prepare, will be composed Of from
1900 to 1000 sheets, and will give an
exact impression OF all the groups of
stars. A new impetus will thence
be given to the science OF astronomy,
and it will be possible for astrono-
mers TO study the distribution Of the
stars and perohance the constitution
of the universe. SO Admiral Mou-
chez aud his friends are thus, it will
be seen, engaged in most important
work, the value of which may be
gathered in a great measure from the
fact that they will be able, by means
of tho new and improved instTu-
ments which are used at the Paris
Observatory to diagnose, il such a
term can be employed, the l0O, 900, 900
stars which, according to the Stats
tics compiled, exist in the armament.
Admiral MouobeH states that, with
the aid OF the apparatus manufac-
tured by Messrs. Henry, the astrono-
mors aud opticians, heavenly objects
we're plainly visible, such as Mala,
one OF the pleiades, which had hith-
erto escaped the observation of as
tronomors, aud it is hoped that the
same instruments will enable further
progress to be realized.
